A 70 kg bicyclist is riding her 15 kg bicycle downhill on a road with a slope of 80without pedaling or braking. The bicyclist has a frontal area of 0.45 m2and a dragcoefficient of 1.1 in the upright position, and a frontal area of 0.4 m2and a dragcoefficient of 0.9 in a racing position. If the downhill speed of the bicyclist(terminal velocity) can be determined when the total force acting on the “body” inthe direction of movement is equal to zero, determine the percentage of downspeed that she can be increased when she is in a racing position. Air temperatureis 150C and disregarding the rolling resistance and friction at the bearing.

A wooden ball of weight 196 newtons is dropped vertically from a height of 100 meters above the ground. Throughout the fall, drag is present by a factor 4v due to air resistance, where v is the velocity of the ball at time t (in seconds). After how many seconds will the ball impact the ground? Assume that the net force acting on the ball is modeled by m(dv/dt) = mg – kv, where m is the mass of the ball. Also, assume that there is no initial velocity and that the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8 meters per second squared. Do not round off intermediate steps. Round off the final answer to two decimal places.
